Lack of pencils in Code

heh :") i've done that ever since, but it was our first tournament (ever, like. ever) and we accidentally left our pencil case in the classroom while running late :""")
but yes, honestly, you simply don't have time to insert new lead or sharpen pencils during codebusters!!

I'm going to be so honest right now.. I spend more time blankly staring into space than sharpening pencils

SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS
Mechanical pencils are so unreliable

Sometime at the end of a Codebusters test we just know that we don’t have enough time to solve anything else so we just draw things relating to the quotes. Like once there was a hint saying that it was from the Lion King so we just drew Scar and Mufasa. Normally I just bring like 72 sharpened pencils just in case tho.

72??!?

Not a codebusters person, so I can't really relate. Sounds interesting.

:") That's codebusters in a nutshell! Honestly, I really wanna meet the people who win the event- they must be absolutely insane at decoding cryptograms.

I confess that I'm guilty of using mechanical pencils...
I just like how they write and my Pentels have never failed me. Yet...
